Well did you ever!?!?!
« on: August 05, 2008, 13:55:41 »
If it was in a box, sealed and all then i would understand why its still in this condition, but this kid should get a reprimand for whining all those years complaining he had nothing to do on those rainy Sunday afternoons!!
But i'm glad he didn't go to all that trouble painting this rather large set, now i have a marvellous set, almost complete and still white :yippee: :yippee:

Just thought i'd show this and convince you all that the set you still want (any kind of set) is still out there, there is hope!

 :woohoo:  what a find, Rob!  You must be as pleased as punch to find that.  Thanks for showing us it.  Now, lock all the doors and windows and never leave your house unattended.

(of course, I suppose it might be a normal set which has just been bleached white by the sun.)

That is an amazing find . And the fact that a kid had it out , it just does not seem normal that he or she did not mark it all up  ???

I like Martins idea ghosts- Use the new heads from the ghost pirates and swap them out  >:D

Very nice set and I think it looks great as it should be. :)

Pack it away quickly to keep it in such good condition and keep it away from the SUN.

Thanks guys!!

I will keep it away from any sunlight and i'll hide all the permanent markers in the house so my son (7 years) won't get any crazy ideas!! In fact the idea of colouring the set isn't that crazy at all, just seems a bit stupid to do it now because it survived all these years.

Of course i'm very pleased!! I have several color sets in this condition, but this one is my pride and joy.
